Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

A combined drug with expectorant and anti-inflammatory effects.

The pharmacological properties of the drug are due to the components that make up its composition.

Licorice extract (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) has anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic and expectorant effects. Ginger extract (Zingiber officinalis Rosc.) has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Emblica extract (Emblica officinalis Gaetn.) has anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects. Menthol has antispasmodic and antiseptic effects.

Indication

Symptomatic therapy of acute and chronic diseases of the upper respiratory tract accompanied by cough (pharyngitis, laryngitis, including "lecturer" laryngitis, tracheitis, bronchitis).

Contraindication

Hypersensitivity to any of the components of the drug; impaired liver and kidney function; diseases accompanied by impaired bile secretion (cholelithiasis and bile duct obstruction); arterial hypertension; hypokalemia; severe obesity; spasmophilia; bronchial asthma; diabetes mellitus; childhood.

Interaction with other medicinal products and other types of interactions

Dr. Mom®, lozenges, should not be used simultaneously with antitussives and drugs that suppress sputum formation, as this prevents expectoration of thinned sputum.

Hypokalemia (as a result of excessive use of licorice root) may be exacerbated by interaction with cardiac glycosides, antiarrhythmic drugs and drugs that affect the heart rhythm (e.g. quinidine). When used together with drugs that cause the development of hypokalemia (thiazide and loop diuretics, adrenocorticosteroids and laxatives), electrolyte imbalance may occur, so the drug should not be used for a long time simultaneously with the above drugs.

May increase the absorption of sulfaguanidine.

Caution is required when used concomitantly with warfarin due to the possibility of bleeding due to increased INR (international normalized ratio).

Application features

If symptoms of the disease persist for more than 2 days and are accompanied by headache, nausea, or vomiting, you should consult a doctor.

Since the medicinal product contains glucose and sucrose, patients with hereditary fructose intolerance, glucose/galactose malabsorption syndrome and sucrase/isomaltase deficiency are not recommended to take the drug.

Patients with gastroesophageal reflux (heartburn) should avoid using the drug as heartburn may increase.

Ability to influence reaction speed when driving vehicles or other mechanisms
